Biome tokens are used to indicate environments for creatures and plants.
All objects that use biome tokens can take multiple entries, so they can be found in many different locations.
To create something that only appears when you discover the cave river, lava, or chasm, use BIOME_SUBTERRANEAN_WATER, _LAVA, or _CHASM.
